Savage Sues CAIR

The anti-American hate group and unindicted co-conspirators CAIR have been attacking radio host Michael Savage and now he's had enough of this crew.

Good for him.

Trend-setting radio talk show host Michael Savage has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Council on Islamic-American Relations [sic], and has accused the organization of being a "political vehicle of international terrorism" that seeks to do "material harm to those voices who speak against the violent agenda of CAIR's clients."

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in California, seeks damages equal to the ongoing donations from CAIR supporters "who expect CAIR to act in this manner in exchange for continuing financial support" as well as "actual damages according to proof."

A spokesman for Savage indicated the top-rated talk show host would have no further comment, saying the text of the lawsuit itself would answer questions.

The focal point of the lawsuit is a series of audio clips CAIR has been using in its promotions and fundraising efforts.

Those comments from Savage's show include his criticisms of Islam and Muslims, including:

"I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not getting' on my all-fours and braying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear any more about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."

But the lawsuit maintains such comments, taken in context, are Savage's verbal expression of the feelings of many Americans.

Whether you like Savage or not, we cannot have thugs like CAIR intimidating sponsors and trying to silence radio voices they don't agree with.

UPDATE: Savage's site has a copy of the suit and a link where you can donate to his defense fund.
